On the Brightside - Never Shout Never

I met a man of two feet tall

This man was quite ambitious

In a world that is so vicious to us all

I said, «Hi,"as he replied

He said, «Listen to these words

That I have lived by my whole life

«You're only as tall as your heart will let you be

And you’re only as small as the world will make you seem

When the going gets rough and you feel like you may fall

Just look on the brightside — you’re roughly six feet tall»

I met a man of 12 feet tall

He towered like a giant

In a world that was defiant of his height

I said, «Hi,"as he replied

He said, «Listen to these words

That I have dreaded my whole life

«You're only as tall as your heart will let you be

And you’re only as small as the world will make you seem

When the going gets rough and you feel like you may fall

Just look on the brightside — you’re roughly six feet tall.»

I am a man of six feet tall

Just looking for some answers

In a world that answers none of them at all

I’ll say, «Hi,"but not reply

To the letters that you write

Because I found some peace of mind

Cause I’m only as tall as my heart will let me be

And I’m only as small as the world will make me seem

When the going gets rough and I feel like I may fall

I’ll look on the brightside — I’m roughly six feet tall.
